Prepare the Provisionable Servers

Before you can use the N1 System Manager N1 System Manager to discover provisionable servers, each provisionable server must be set up as follows:

• An IP address must be assigned to each provisionable server's management port

• A minimum set of management processor credentials must be configured on each provisionable server. The type of credential to be configured depends on the provisionable server management processor architecture and the whether the provisionable server has been configured with factory default credentials.

For further information, see Setting Up Provisionable Servers in Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Site Preparation Guide.

Install an OS and the N1 System Manager software on your management server at the same time you set up your provisionable servers.
